      Companions

      Companions Cover
      by Tower Curator Walking through the streets of Lansing wasn't that bad. Because of the smog, Wayne had been forced to drive at extremely slow speeds. As long as he kept up a brisk pace, walking would likely end up being faster in the end anyway. There were a few drawbacks. Wayne considered himself far from the most athletic of people. Power walking the remaining mile or two to Sarah's house wasn't a huge issue, but he was starting to feel the strain in his legs. He had dropped his time dilation down several notches as…

      Ambush

      Ambush Cover
      by Tower Curator The good news was that there were few cars on the freeway heading towards the city, leaving the freeway mostly clear of enemies. The bad news was that the outgoing lanes were bumper to bumper. The military had cleared away most of the ones near the wall--with a bulldozer, by the looks of things--but the rest were just blocking the road. They looked abandoned, but Wayne wasn't about to let his guard down. He kept one hand on his tome as he drove along. A constant trickle of magic left him ready for…

      Arrival

      Arrival Cover
      by Tower Curator The year two-thousand. A bunch of people thought it was going to be the end of the world. Idiots, mostly. Some quit their jobs, packed their bags, and went on vacation. Entire life savings blown in a week. Some ran around screaming like chickens with their heads cut off. Others paraded around with signs hanging off their chest stating that the 'End is Nigh' or some other such nonsense. As if telling people about the apocalypse would stop the coming end. Then there were the profiteers. The ones who…
    • Book Four Epilogue Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana awoke with a start, eyes stinging as a few droplets of sweat fell. Another nightmare, she thought, lifting her head from where it rested on her mother's bed. At least this one had something more than just her mother dying in various horrifying ways. It had been a reminder about something she had forgotten. Something she couldn't allow to remain forgotten. "This is not a long-term care ward." The light in the infirmary was set as low as it could possibly go without actually being off.…

      Return

      Return Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe pinched the bridge of her nose. Wayne had to return soon with news. Between Devon muttering to himself and the constant whining of the demon infesting Shalise's body, Zoe was about ready to hog-tie the two of them and gag their mouths. Especially Shalise. Or Prax. Whoever it was. Keeping Shalise's body available was a must. The worst case scenario would be that entity deciding to return to that giant castle before Eva showed up. Zoe wasn't entirely certain that she could blame it if it…

      Special

      Special Cover
      by Tower Curator "Tell me, Juliana Laura Rivas, what makes you better than those that have been felled by my hand?" Juliana's mind raced. This was yet another mistake. Diablery got her into this mess. Whatever could have possessed her to make her think diablery would get her out of it. Stupid, stupid, stupid! The only bright side to this was the slim chance that Zagan might go kill Willie after he killed Juliana. It was his fault that she had called Zagan here in the first place. Maybe if she made enough noise,…

      Willie

      Willie Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mom!" Juliana jumped to her feet. Fear beat in her chest. That was... a lot of blood. Eva pulled out her black dagger and jammed it into her mother's chest. Juliana almost started spouting a stream of profanity before she remembered what that dagger was for. A moment later, the constant stream of blood stopped flowing from the arm-sized hole in her mother's chest. While the blood stopped, the wound did not heal. "Eva, she is old." Arachne moved closer as she shrunk down to her human…

      Splatter

      Splatter Cover
      by Tower Curator Razor-edged talons sunk into the wooden wall next to Genoa's face. The partially collapsed building groaned, protesting the force, but otherwise stayed intact. Which was great. Genoa didn't much care for buildings collapsing on top of her. She had enough of that raiding unstable ruins for the guild. Though, at least she wasn't being actively attacked by hundreds upon hundreds of monsters in those ruins. Maybe there was a tomb guardian of some sort, but that usually capped out at one or two. The…

      Partners

      Partners Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana sat in her seat, gripping the armrests. This... she wasn't sure what to call it. Farce was a word that came to mind. Whatever it was, it had gone on long enough. By the looks of it, Eva didn't even know how close she had come to having her skull caved in while pulling off her cowboy impression on the back of that beetle. She had missed a broken plank by mere inches. Glancing away from the giant theater screen, Juliana frowned at Willie. He had leaned over, barely touching his seat. In…

      Recovery

      Recovery Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe's chest heaved as she took a deep breath of the crisp air within Ylva's domain. She turned to Wayne, letting all the air out in one long sigh. She gave off a half-smile, full of nervousness and worry. "Are we really doing this?" Wayne gave a short grunt. "I've done a lot of crazy things in my life. Jumping head first into Hell will be a new one." "You don't have to come with me." Wayne frowned. He opened his mouth, ready to berate her for saying that. After a moment of silence, he shook his…
